Abstract | • We ran cross-sector consensus groups to provide guidance on the setup of longitudinal student cohorts. • Consensus was reached that a core set of areas should be measured, including: general psychological symptoms, general wellbeing symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and depressive symptoms. • Consensus groups also recommended a wider set of topics that commonly affect students which can be measured; for example, functioning, loneliness, and sleep difficulties. • Multiple candidate measures for each topic are reported so that researchers can select the most appropriate measure for their particular study. • To help researchers make selections, each candidate measure has been evaluated against 10 core principles, such as psychometric properties, and acceptability to students. |
